rainy day crappies
The wind and rain were stirring up the water and the crappies were biting. Working throught the weeds with a small jig and tube produced a fish on almost every cast, but many were small. I switched to a roadrunner with a two and a half inch gulp minnow, and that kept the smaller fish off, but I was missing many strikes. I then switched to a cordell rattle bait with two trebles on it and got a way better hooking percentage. I got a lot less bites, but the fish I got were keepable sized. Not huge slabs, but fine for metro area lakes

Hi bill, don't know the exact size, I think its the smallest one, mabye 1.5 or 2 inches?
I would guess the best thing would be to find out the sized baitfish the fish in your area are chasing, and try to match it! :)
